Winemaker Tasting Notes
A seamless beauty, the 2009 Charnu showcases the brilliance of the 2009 Napa Valley vintage. Brimming with red fruit, the nose is accented with notes of baking spice, cigar box and molasses. It demonstrates impeccable balance, handling its concentration elegantly and effortlessly. The 2009 is smooth and rich, and layered with flavors of berry compote, hazelnut ganache and tar. It is delicious now, but can be cellared and enjoyed for years to come.
